Lance didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette and took a few sips slowly. The brief silence became more and more depressing in the misty smoke. Through the smoke, you could vaguely see Lance's slender fingertips holding a cigarette, gently rubbing the end of his eyebrows. The sparse sunlight penetrated the hazy mist and fell on the fingers that looked like bamboo joints, casting some shadows faintly, and outlining the timeless eyebrows and eyes little by little, as if it was a black and white photo from the 1930s, instantly causing time to begin to flow back.

The air slowly solidified, and the tight atmosphere was almost suffocating. Suddenly, Lance's low voice traveled through time and space, breaking the shackles, "Leonardo, can't you memorize the lines?" The words without too many emotional colors were as heavy as a thousand pounds, which made the people around him lower their heads, and the muscles behind them couldn't help but tighten.

Javier and Martin couldn't help but exchanged sight, and even their saliva-swallowing movements became cautious.

The young man who was called to his name subconsciously took a half step forward, but his steps fell. He felt that Lance's gaze slowly fell on his skin, which made his movements stagnate, and then he stood awkwardly, neither forward nor backward; his hands couldn't help rubbing gently on his thighs, but even so, his palms were still wet. The nervousness in his heart made him dry and he couldn't even say a word. He could only open his eyes and look at Lance at a loss.

"Then don't memorize the lines." Lance said in a deep voice, which made the young man feel helpless. He raised his head and looked around blankly, but he didn't know who to ask for help. His eyes were filled with tears, and his innocent and helpless expression made people feel unbearable.

But even so, no one was talking around, and everyone quietly lowered their heads and avoided the young people's sight of help. On the set, no one dared to challenge Lance's authority, no one.

Seeing this scene, Lance pursed his lips slightly and sniffed a cigarette, "I mean it, don't memorize the lines."

Lance is not scolding, nor is he joking. He is trying to guide these non-professional actors to the right track of performance in a way that suits these non-professional actors.

Although Lance had trained these children for two months before, the time was too short. He could only teach some basic things and let the children adapt to the camera - not everyone has this ability. Many people will be unnatural when standing in front of the camera, and even have the same hands and feet. Therefore, after actually investing in the shooting, Lance had to spend a lot of effort to direct details, or even redirect.

In the previous filming scenes, there were many rival scenes between the actor who played Xiao Douzi and the actor who played Ah Dai, and the scenes were very tight. Ah Dai kept bullying Xiao Douzi, but the physical and psychological differences caused by the huge age gap between the two of them, which made Xiao Douzi unable to resist at all. On the one hand, Ah Dai didn't care at all and bullied Xiao Douzi for granted; on the other hand, Xiao Douzi was constantly surging anger and resentment, and the chemical reaction between the two was also an important factor in Xiao Douzi's growth.

However, the two actors only met for the first time and could not show the level suppression caused by the accumulation of time. Therefore, after three days of observation, Lance simply let Ah Dai's actor bully Xiao Douzi's actors both on and off the play, and at the same time did not tell Xiao Douzi's actors the truth.

After only ten days of getting along, the atmosphere between the two children became more and more tense. As the filming progressed, it reached its peak in a scene. Ah Dai slapped Xiao Douzi, causing Xiao Douzi to cry and wipe her tears while looking back with resentful eyes.

The scene was only filmed twice - and it was successfully completed at a few different angles, and Xiao Douzi's performance was even more amazing.

After that, Lance did not directly tell Xiao Douzi's actor the truth, and kept asking him to continue this performance. After all his scenes were filmed, Lance told him the truth and asked Ah Dai's actor to come here to express his apology.

Lance knew clearly that these children did not have performance skills. They needed a situation that could be truly substituted and then showed their true selves. The effect of shooting was the best.

The child in front of him is called Leandro Firmino. He lives in the City of God, but he did not join the gang of Jiji Mannor and Noor. He is just a very ordinary child. He has no interest in becoming an actor. The reason why he came to audition was just because of his high salary and hopes to help his friend's company continue to survive. Unexpectedly, Lance took a fancy to him at first sight and chose him to play one of the most important roles in the script: Xiao Douzi as an adult.

Xiao Douzi became more and more lawless when he grew up. He was cruel and hard-hearted, and gradually became a domineering person in the City of God. Later, he changed his name to Xiao Bawang, annihilated several surrounding forces, and took over, becoming the largest force in the city abandoned by God, and established his own kingdom.

The scene that is being filmed now is an important turning point for the Little Overlord to embark on the road to domination. He gave up the small-scale robbery on the street. On the way to accept the drug/product sales business, he used thunder to eliminate several forces and cleared out the most deeply rooted drug/product sales point on his territory.

The Little Overlord directly broke into this sales point and took the territory into his pocket with a sweeping across the eight deserts. In addition to the Little Overlord, several major characters such as Benny, Apao, and Heizai appeared in this scene. This is not a difficult scene, but in Lance's conception, the scene was completed in one go, so the requirements for details are very rigorous.

Lance hopes to describe this drug/product sales point as a story site, telling the origin of this drug/product sales point, starting from the first to sell drugs/products here, until the last self-employed Heizai took over, as well as the appearance of A Pao, and the robbery of Little Overlord and Benny. The entire long history is condensed in this room, telling the history of the drug/products of the City of God in the Romance, and also showing the impact on the City of God in the passage of time.

The scene being filmed now is the ending scene, and it is also the only scene that will slow down the speed and display every detail. In addition, other scenes will be connected in montage. Therefore, the importance of this scene is self-evident.

During the filming just now, Leonardo's lines were never remembered. To be precise, they were very different and very stiff, which made the whole scene fragmented. Alexander Rodriguez, who played Apao, was also affected. Even though the lines were not problematic, his eyes were very dull and he could not see any anger.

Lance thought about it carefully. Leonardo was not a professional actor, and reciting long lines was indeed not his strength. Moreover, the conflict in this scene did not require further rendering of lines. It was more about showing the turbulent and uneasy in the swaying, conveying the sense of history and shaking that changed within thirty years. Therefore, perhaps it is a wiser approach to let Leonardo abandon his lines.

Looking at Leonardo with a puzzled look in front of him, Lance continued to speak, "You know what the little bully is doing in this scene, right?" Leonardo nodded, but Lance shook his head, "Speak your opinion."

Leonardo hesitated for a moment, subconsciously looked at Alexander standing beside him, and cast a look for help. Alexander said nothing, but looked at Lance unswervingly. Leonardo then said intermittently, "The little bully... is here to collect the territory. After collecting this territory, he will be the largest drug dealer in this area."

Lance nodded and expressed his affirmation, "So, how did you collect the territory before?"

Lance's affirmation made Leonardo slightly regain a little confidence. "Pistol?" He said hesitantly. Lance did not affirm or deny it. "He threatened directly with a pistol, shot if he was not convinced, and handed over the territory if he was willing to bow his head." This time Lance nodded slightly, and Leonardo became even more confident, "Absolutely not ruthless, he is the real boss here!"

Lance's eyes flashed slightly and continued, "Remember, sometimes, you can't let go of surrender. You need to establish your authority. You have to let them know that you are not joking. You can shoot at any time as long as you want."

Leonardo suddenly realized, "So I shot Blackie."

Unconsciously, Leonardo's personal pronoun changed from "he" to "me", and under the guidance of Reims, he has gradually entered the role.

"So, you're breaking in now, Heizi is selling big/mah here, what would you do?" Lance struck while the iron was hot, and did not ask Hayden to turn on the camera, and directly let Leonardo enter the state.

Leonardo turned his head and looked at Heizi standing aside, "Take the business here, you're done now!" Leonardo completely lost the panic he had just now, and he suddenly became arrogant. While talking, he also took steps and walked forward.

Lance gave Philippe Haagensen a look - he was the actor of Benny, Xiao Douzi's best partner since childhood. Philip was stunned for a moment, but Alexander said in a lip-syncing manner, "Stop him, stop him!" Philip then reacted and quickly grabbed Leonardo, "Don't kill him, he understands it! Right, Blackie?"

Leonardo shook his head, laughed, and pulled the trigger directly - just aimed at Heizi's calves. After the gunfire sounded - the prop pistol - his voice rang, "Give up your life, but you want to work for us, do you understand?"
